Definitions
- This invention relates to an assembly and method for delivering and deploying an expandable stent, particularly within a lumen of a body vessel. More specifically, this invention relates an assembly and method for delivering and deploying a balloon expandable stent, and most notably to stent securement devices positioned over the balloon and stent.
- a stent is a general cylindrical prosthesis introduced via a 'catheter into a lumen of a body vessel, the stent being in a configuration having a generally reduced diameter and then being expanded to the diameter of the vessel. In its expanded configuration, the stent supports and reinforces the vessel walls while maintaining the vessel in an open, unobstructed condition.
- Both self-expanding and inflation (as by a balloon) expandable stents are well-known and widely available.
- Self expanding stents must be maintained under positive external pressure in order to maintain their reduced diameter configuration during delivery of the stent to its deployment site.
- Inflation expandable stents also known as balloon expandable stents
- the present invention is particularly concerned with stent securement in the delivery and deployment of inflation expandable stents.
- angioplasty procedure there may be restenosis of the artery, which either necessitates another angioplasty procedure, a surgical bypass procedure, or some method of repairing or strengthening the area.
- a physician may implant an intravascular prosthesis for maintaining vascular patency, i.e. a stent, inside the artery at the lesion.
- the stent is expanded to a larger diameter following placement in the vasculature, often by a balloon portion of the catheter.
- Stents delivered to a restricted coronary artery, expanded to a larger diameter as by a balloon catheter, and left in place in the artery at the site of a dilated lesion are shown in U.S. Patent No.
- the stent In advancing a inflation expandable stent through a body vessel to the deployment site, there are a number of important considerations.
- the stent must be able to securely maintain its axial position on the delivery catheter.
- the stent, particularly its distal and proximal ends, are sometimes protected to prevent distortion of the stent, and minimize trauma to the vessel walls.
- Balloon expandable stent delivery and deployment assemblies are known which utilize restraining means that overlie the stent during delivery.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,950,227 to Savin et al. relates to a balloon expandable stent delivery system in which a sleeve overlaps the distal or proximal margin (or both) of a stent during delivery.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,403,341 to Solar relates to stent delivery and deployment assembly which uses retaining sheaths positioned about opposite ends of the compressed stent. The retaining sheaths of Solar are adapted to tear under pressure as the stent is radially expanded, thus releasing the stent for engagement with the implant site.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,108,416 to Ryan et al. describes a stent introducer system which uses one or two flexible end caps and an annular socket surrounding the balloon to position the stent during introduction to the deployment site. The content of all of these patents is incorporated herein by reference.
- the stent In positioning a balloon expandable stent on a delivery catheter over a fluid expandable balloon, the stent is preferably smoothly and evenly crimped to closely conform to the overall profile of the catheter and the unexpanded balloon. It has been noted that, due to physical properties of the material used in manufacturing stents (typically stainless steel or a shape memory metal, such as NitinolTM) there is a certain amount of "recoil" of the stent despite the most careful and firm crimping. That is the stent evidences a tendency to slightly open up from the fully crimped position once the crimping force has been released.
- the material used in manufacturing stents typically stainless steel or a shape memory metal, such as NitinolTM
- a balloon catheter One important characteristic of a balloon catheter is its "profile", which is.determined by the outer diameter (O.D.) of the distal end portion of the catheter, which includes a balloon and.stent when the combination is in its delivery profile.
- the outer diameter affects the ease and ability of the catheter to pass through a guide catheter, through coronary arteries for example, and across a tight lesion site.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,342,307 incorporated herein by reference, discloses a balloon protector sleeve used with a tri-fold balloon catheter for angioplasty. Minimization of "profile" is of importance in balloon catheters and stent delivery systems.
- the present invention is particularly directed to improved arrangements to secure and cover a stent on a delivery catheter to better facilitate delivery thereof.
- the securement devices secure the stent to the catheter during tracking and delivery.
- the present invention also provides an improved arrangement of a stent delivery system with a minimized profile.
- the stent securement device of the present invention is of particular utility with such stent delivery systems as are set forth in U.S. Patents No. 5,571,168 and 5,733,267 for PULL BACK STENT DELIVERY SYSTEM, U.S. Application No. 09/052,488 filed March 31, 1998, U.S. Application No. 08/807,791 filed February 28, 1997, U.S. Application No. 08/702,150 filed August. 23, 1996, U.S. Application No. 08/697,453 filed August 23, 1996, U.S. Application No. 08/701,979, filed August 23, 1997, U.S. Application No. 08/702,149 filed August 23, 1996, International Application PCT/US97/14980, and International Application PCT/US97/14141, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- a medical device comprising a stent delivery catheter system comprising a stent delivery catheter with a stent securement means according to the present invention is generally indicated at 10.
- catheter 10 has a shaft 14, a proximal portion 16 and a distal portion 18.
- Distal portion 18 is fixed to shaft 14 by standard means known in the art.
- distal portion 18 may be bonded at its ends by adhesive to the catheter in an integral manner, or may be made one-piece with the catheter as is known in the art.
- distal portion 18 (dashed circle of Figure 1) is shown in enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view.
- Distal end portion 18 comprises balloon 22, which is constructed and arranged for expansion from a contracted state to an expanded state.
- Balloon 22 may be of any length. For instance, balloon 22 may be about 15 mm long. This length, however, is for illustrative purposes only and is not meant to be limiting. Balloon 22 is shown in a folded, contracted state in Figures 2-3. Balloon 22 may be, and preferably is, made of a material which resiliently deforms under radial pressure. Examples of suitable materials are generally known in the art and include non-compliant, semi-compliant and compliant materials such as polyethylene (PE), nylon, polyether block amides (PEBAX), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), silicone, POC, a polyethylene, a polyether, or polyesters such as HytrelTM.
- balloon 22 has a larger diameter which is obtained when the balloon 22 is expanded in the known manner.
- Catheter balloon 22 may be inflated by fluid (gas or liquid) from an inflation port (not shown) extending from an inflation lumen contained in the catheter shaft 14 and opening into the balloon 22, or by other means, such as from fluid communication from a passageway or passageways formed between the outside of the catheter shaft and the membrane forming the balloon, depending on the design of the catheter, all of which are known in the art.
- the passageway(s) may extend from the catheter shaft directly to the interior of the balloon or may extend to the exterior of the balloon.
- the catheter may alternatively be associated with a source of fluid (gas or liquid) external to the catheter (not shown), whereby the fluid is delivered to the balloon or expandable member by an inflation lumen located in the catheter shaft 14 and associated with the balloon 22 as is known in the art.
- a source of fluid gas or liquid
- the details and mechanics of balloon inflation and specific overall catheter construction will vary according to the design of the catheter, and are known in the art per se. All of these variations are acceptable for use with the balloon catheters and stent delivery systems of the present invention.
- Stent delivery system 10 further comprises stent securement means, such as a sheath, indicated generally at 26 in Figures 1-3, comprising a very flexible thin walled sleeve or sheath 28 having a proximal end 30, a distal end 32 (as shown specifically in Figures 2-6), an exterior surface 34 and an interior surface 36, and a distal elastomeric sock, cuff or collar 38 (shown in Figures 1-3), having a proximal end 40, a distal end 42, exterior surface 44 and an interior surface 46.
- Preferred materials for sheath 28 are PTFE and HDPE, although other materials may be used.
- Preferred wall thickness is 0.005 inches although this dimension is not critical.
- the material is as thin as possible consistent with the constitutional strength of the sheath.
- the distal end of the sheath 28 is tucked under sock 38.
- Preferred materials for sock 38 are urethane elastomers.
- Stent securement means 26 serves to secure and cover stent 48 during delivery thereof. Any suitable balloon expandable stent or equivalent known in the art may be delivered by the stent delivery system of the present invention.
- Stent 48 in its delivery diameter, and balloon 22 are coaxially mounted at the distal end 18 of catheter 10 such that stent 48 is mounted axially over balloon 22 as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
- expandable balloon 22 is designed and adapted for expansion of the stent from the delivery diameter to the deployment diameter upon application of fluid deployment pressure to the balloon as is known in the art.
- stent securement means 26 of the present invention are the thin, very flexible stent sheath 28, its distal elastomeric cuff 38 and the tuck under relationship thereof.
- the advantages provided by these features are the superior stent securement provided thereby, the minimization of trauma to the vessel walls provided by sheath 28, the securement of the stent during tracking and delivery which prevents distortion of stent 48, the maintenance of the balloon and stent position in an artery during stent deployment, and the ready release of the sheath and release of the balloon provided by this.combination.
- Sheath 28 may be slip coated to further improve trackability.
- a focus of the invention is the protective sheath 28 distally captured by sock 38.
- socks for capturing stents are known in the art as indicated hereinabove, an ultrathin sheath which covers the stent and is distally captured by a sock is new in the art.
- Distal cuff or sock 38 may have some elastic characteristics or just a gripping ability to provide a modest interference fit.
- the thinness of sheath 28 is an important feature of the present invention. It is thin and is only present to protect the stent from catching on the body both during implantation or upon withdrawal if stent is not used.
- stent securement means 26 of the present invention is of particular utility with delivery systems for balloon expandable stents.
- stent securement means 26 may be used with a delivery system for an expandable stent further comprising a storage sleeve as set forth in U.S. Patent No. 5,800,517 issued September 1, 1998 and incorporated herein by reference. Generally a stent delivery system with the stent securement means of the present invention is not provided with an additional balloon or stent protector.
- Sheath 28 is axially movable on shaft 14 of catheter 10 so that it can be remotely retracted from over stent 48 as is known in the art.
- Stent securement means 26 is associated with a pull back means (not shown) for proximal retraction of sheath 28.
- stent securement means 26 of the present invention is associated with a wire pull back system for proximal retraction of sheath 28 in order to expose the stent for expansion.
- the pull back wire (not shown) is constructed and arranged to operate through port 60, best seen in Figure 2, to proximally retract sheath 28. Proximal retraction of sheath 28 is limited by stop collar 50 (seen in Figure 1).
- Stent securement device 26 of the present invention is of utility with such stent delivery systems as are set forth in U.S. Patents No. 5,571,168 and 5,733,267 for PULL BACK STENT DELIVERY SYSTEM, U.S. Patent 5,772,669 for STENT DEPLOYMENT CATHETER WITH RETRACTABLE SHEATH, and U.S. Patent 5,534,007 for STENT DEPLOYMENT CATHETER WITH COLLAPSIBLE SHEATH, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
- Retraction or proximal advancement of sheath 28 may also be accomplished by hydraulic actuation.
- wire pull back attachment means 60 would be absent and port 60 would function as a hydraulic perfusion port.
- Hydraulic pull-back systems are disclosed and described in U.S. Patents 5,571,135 and 5,445,646 and in pending U.S. Patent Application No. 09/196,793, filed November 20, 1998 entitled STENT DELIVERY DEVICE. All of these are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
- Exterior surface 34 of sheath 28 may be coated with a silicone coating or a hydrophilic coating as a slip coating.
- a hydrophilic coating is preferred, such as is set forth in U.S. Patent Number 5,693,034 directed to a Lubricious Polymer Network (incorporated herein by reference).
- the coating is of utility in that it assists in pulling back the system if a lesion or blockage is encountered that the system is not capable of traversing, in which case the system is pulled back into the guide catheter.
- interior surface 36 of sheath 28 may also be coated with a silicone or hydrophilic coating.
- a silicone coating or the like may be provided at the interior surface 46 of the proximal end 40 of distal cuff 38, and the exterior surface 34 of the distal end 32 of sheath 28, to provide a slip coating between the proximal interior of distal cuff 38 and the distal exterior of sheath 28.
- sheath 28 may be provided with holes 52 to enhance flexibility.
- dimples 54 may be provided, or as shown in Figure 6, radial indentations 56 in a staggered pattern or other desired pattern may be provided.
- Figure 7 is a side profile section showing a balloon expandable stent delivery and deployment assembly, with the stent crimped to delivery diameter onto the balloon, the underlying tube component and the catheter, and also having a pull-back wire 62 attached to the sheath of the stent securement means by means of a band or collar 64.
- sheath 28 is slidable axially along the shaft 14 and is connected to a retracting wire 62 such that sheath 28 may be proximally advanced.
- the other elements of the Figure are similar to those of Figure 2.
